ICE-CREAM FREEZER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 442,659, dated December16, 1890.

Application filed July 26, 1890. Serial No. 360,033. (No model-) To aZZwhom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOSEPH OIoERo BEARD, a citizen of the United States,residing at Monroe, in the parish of Ouachita and State of Louisiana,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ice-Machines; and Ido declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon,which form a part of this specification.

My invention hasrelation to freezers; and it consists in the novelconstruction and arrangement of its parts.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l. is a perspective view of myinvention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional View of .the cylinder.Fig. 3 is a face view of the detachable lid of the cylinder. Fig. 4 isan end View of the cylinder, the lid being detached. Fig. 5 is aperspective View of the perforated bucket containing the perforatedcylinder 1) and cans b. Fig. 6 is a longitudinal sectional view of adouble can.

My invention is described as follows:

I have a cylinder A with a detachable lid a, and buttons ct to keep saidlid in place, and on its inside are flanges a (See Figs. 2 and 4.) Saidlid is provided with an axle a on the outer end of which is fixed acrankarm and crank a Said lid afits tightly in a socket a in the openinga of the cylinder A.

Inside of cylinder A, and securely lodged between the flanges a is aperforated bucket B, in the center of which is an open-headed perforatedcylinder 1), and arranged around said cylinder in a circle are a numberof double or single cans I). Said bucket and contents can be slipped outof said cylinder A through the opening a at will. Said double cansconsist of two parts I) and b, of equal length, the former fittingsnugly in the latter, and each part has a ring 19 attached to its head,so that they may be pulled apart. Lid a has around the edge of its innerface a strip of packing a of rubber or cloth, so that said lid can bemade to fit air-tight in the opening a". On the closed head of cylinderA is an axle a (see Fig. 2,) that corresponds to the axle a on the lidto. Cylinder A rotates on axles a a in a box O, provided with sockets eto receive said axles, said axles being held in said sockets by the top0.

My invention is operated as follows: I put the'ingredients to be frozenin the cans b and put said cans in the perforated bucket, with theperforated open-headed cylinder in the center. Then I slip the bucket inbetween the flanges a in the cylinder A, then pour in thefreezing-mixture, then fasten the lid by buttons at tightly in theopening a, then place the cylinder A in the box O, and rotate saidcylinder by crank-arm and crank a. When the cylinder A rotates, thefreezingmixture will flow through the perforations in the bucket B andthrough the perforations in the open-headed perforated cylinder 5 andwill get all around the outside of the cans b and will solidly freezethe contents of the same. When the freezing-mixture first reaches thecans b, the outer side of the inner part and the inner side of the outerpart will freeze together, thus preventing the freezing-mixing fromgetting to the contents of the cans. After the freezing is done I placethe cans in water for a few seconds, and then the two parts will easilyslip apart and the contents will slip out in solid rolls.

In this freezer I can freeze at the same time a number of differentsubstances.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is

1. A'freezer consisting of the cylinder A, having the flanges a andopening a, lid at, having the packing a perforated bucket B, perforatedcylinder 1), cans I), having the two parts and each part provided with aring 19 axle a buttons at, crank-arm and crank a and box 0, allsubstantially as shown and described, and for the purposes set forth.

2. A freezer consisting of the cylinder A, having the flanges a and lida, having the packing a perforated bucket 13, fitting between thefianges a perforated cylinder b, and cans Z1, fitting into saidperforated bucket, said cylinder A being provided with axles and propermeans for rotating said cylinder, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOSEPH CICERO BEARD.
